The frame is a stock Harley-Davidson with a welded-on hard tail extension. The motor, tranny, wheels and front end are as delivered from the Harley factory. The rest of the pieces were picked up at swap meets or as a last resort, J&P Cycles. It was fabricated and painted by Bob and John Fager with much assistance from Budweiser over a long year. The image of the rat on the gas...

Not only did the god-awful color aqua seem to dominate for some stupid reason (or just stick in my mind), but they couldn’t find enough places to put it on so they covered up every piece of brightwork and trim piece just to make sure you were gagging. And if that wasn’t aqua-awful enough, they highlighted it with neon graphics just to make sure that the first thing you’d have to do...

Originally introduced in 1982 with a Shovelhead engine suspended in the frame by three rubber mounts to isolate vibration, the FXR was an instant hit with magazine editors and looked to be the next big thing. Sporty handling and a smooth cruising V-twin will elicit kudos from editors every time and the bike sold decently considering it was so different. In 1984, the then new and...

It’s an absolute minimalist machine powered by The Motor Company’s most minimalist horsepower V-twin, but the end result packs a visual punch that’s the very definition of a motorcycle. Built as a tribute to Brewdude Garn’s wife aptly named Brewmom for her 50th birthday, Brewdude named it Golden Deliverance in her honor. The black and gold paint job also reflects the colors of...

It only took 500 hours for El Pasoans Ruben Ayala, Edgar Rodriguez, Eddie Huff, and Dorian Rodriguez to build Hell’s Belle, Ruben’s Old School bar hopper and favorite ride. In the beginning, the idea was to have a real clean bobber with only the required accessories: one headlight, one stoplight, one mirror, lots of chrome and custom accents to personalize the bike. But things...

Brain explained how this project called Suicide Imbecile (gotta love a good sense of humor) came to be saying, “I’ve built a lot of bikes, but I had never built an Ironhead. I found a basket case 1967 XLCH and went from there. I put the frame in my frame jig and hard tailed it Black Sunshine’s way. I kept the stock front end and wanted to go with a flat track feel with some flare...
